WEALTH OF FOLIAGE SHADE
That characterizes this city, and is one OF
its chief attractions For to have shown
our streets as they are, lined with choice
shade trees, some almost meeting and max
ing residence streets avenues rooted over
with leafy wealth, would literally. have
prevented view of the city being given
to put ii in homely phrase-from birds
eye view Sacramento cannot be seen for
her many trees.
A PRINCIPAL FEATURE
OF the picture is the great stretch of coun-
try shown to the east, north and south OF
the city. Thus, below the Sierra Nevada,
from their cool nights in the background,
overlooking this semi-tropic valley, and
from thirty to seventy miles away, we have
the foot and prolific hill and plain lands,
known far and wide for their fruit, vine
and general agricultural wealth, extending
from Colfax on the northeast, and beyond
Wheatland on the north, to Gait on the
southeast, a distance of over ninety miles.
intermediate between these two extremes
are shown New England Mills, Apologize,
Auburn, Newcastle, Penryn, LOOMS,
Rocklin, Wheatland, Sheridan, Lincoln,
Roseville, Antelope, Arcade, Orangevale,
Placerville, Folsom, Natoma, Reuters,
May Enterprise, Brighton, Florin,
Elk Grove, Hicksville, lone, Mama Colony,
Clay, Gait, and Franklin.
THERE ARE SHOWN
The Sacramento, the American and the
Costumes rivers, and the upper and lower
Stockton roads, the Freeport road and the
Riverside, and other drives.
There are shown for many miles the sew
eral lines of railway centering in this city
the Central Pacific, the California and
Oregon, the California Pacific, the Sacra-
mento and Placerville, and the projected
road from Brighton to Enterprise, the
Western Pacific and the Amador Branch
leading from Gait to lone
THE SWEEP OF VISION
Takes in large part of Placer Ell Dorado,
Sacramento and Amador counties, and por-
tons of Yolo and Yuba, or territory
larger than some of the States of the
Union. Obviously in such reaching
view, and one with such immense dis
tances under treatment, no attempt could
be made to show upon these outlying lands
the
EVIDENCES OF SETTLEMENT,
The farms, vineyards, orchards, etc. To
have done so would have resulted in gross
violation of every rule of art, and have
been an ofense to the judgment, which at
glance discovers that, with such distances,
only general landscape could be treated.
Beneath the whole picture is a
sUCCINCr, GRAPHIC AND STATISTICAL
Description of Sacramento, its trade, in
dustries, residence sections, social and ed
ucational features, etc. There is also a
sketch of the new colony plat, Orange
vale. The picture, which was litho-
graphed for the RECORD UNION
under contract with ". w. Elliott,
of San Francisco, is printed upon heavy,
tinted calendered paper for mount
ing, or mailing upon rollers or pasteboard
tubes, and on lighter grade of calendered
paper for folding.

WHOEVER LOOKS
Upon the admirable picture will at once
see its great value as representative OF
Sacramento. The stranger who examines
such picture must form correct Judgment
of the city. By the architecture of the resi-
dences, the evidences of cultivation, the
extent and compactness of the city, the ap-
